1,000 votes isn't too bad. I'm not too pressed about the results, as folks turned out for him. That's good. With the above showing Peter's problems with black voters, it's pretty much a likely thing Sanders (provided folks continue to turn out) will get the nomination.

lol, Nate Cohn of the NYT/Upshot just said "there's no chance networks can make a call off of this info" and then a minute later CNN calls it for Pete. Good work CNN

Mandark · « **Reply #51556 on:** February 06, 2020, 09:19:35 PM »

Yup, "winning" Iowa doesn't matter so much when it's a virtual tie for first and all the media coverage is centered around the caucus debacle anyways. Biden taking an L and Pete getting elevated are the most helpful things for Bernie.

On the other side of things, not looking great for the theory that Bernie's going to muster tons of previously disenfranchised voters who not only will elect him but create a sustained mass movement to achieve his goals. He got fewer votes than John Edwards did finishing 3rd in 2008.

Cauliflower Of Love · « **Reply #51557 on:** February 06, 2020, 09:21:32 PM »

I think if they make it a point to show off what they did for satellite voting, that could tip the scales on just another white dude trying to get votes and this white dude cares about people voting.

Someone give me the bullet points of the latest shenanigans please.

- Very laborious tallying of the votes in the Iowa Caucus. Buttigieg and Sanders almost at a tie.
- Numerous clerical errors noted by media analysts in the results.
- At 98% of the tally, the satellite caucuses (for Iowans out of state) results were added. Sanders basically swept those because he was the only campaign on the ball (and he negotiated their inclusion after 2016 IIRC).
- The very small gap started narrowing with Sanders fairly likely to come on top ultimately.
- DNC chairman decides it's the good moment to tweet "Enough is enough" and demand a recount.

Also :
- Romney voted to convict on one of the two counts of impeachment.
- Pelosi teared up Trump's speech after the State of the Union.
- Trump had a rambling speech on how he was COMPLETELY VINDICATED.

What a fucking trainwreck

Trump said he was going to keep winning and winning and people would say "please stop winning so much" and he would say "no, we will keep winning". So the best yet to come.

I was promised an army.

Dems are going to get Viserys'd if this shit keeps up.

I think the clear conclusion is that because Iowa turnout was at 2016 levels, Trump is going to win.

That three months is a longer amount of time than Shadow had in total, per multiple reports that say it only got two months to build its app. (Shadow CEO Gerard Niemira seems to dispute this, telling Vice that Shadow “began [its] engagement with the IDP in August” and “basically had the month of August, September, October, November, and December to do it,” though he didn’t specify when the actual coding work began.)

I like how they acknowledge they had a longer amount of time to fuck it up.

Sanders won almost unanimously, obtaining 428 votes against a combined 14 divided between former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Pretty soon the only vote that Bernie wont be able to get is the white vote.
